TRANSLATION
During His previous pastimes in Vrindavana, Lord Krishna desired to enjoy the three different types of ecstasy, but despite great endeavor, He could not taste them. Such ecstasies are the monopoly of Srimati Radharani. Therefore, in order to taste them, Sri Krishna accepted the position of Srimati Radharani in the form of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu.
